“Year one of Northern Invasion was everything we hoped it would be, and then some,”
comments Joe Litvag, co-executive producer of the festival for AEG Live. “The
incredible rock fans of the upper Midwest came out in full force, and the response was
so overwhelmingly positive that we just had to expand! We’ve got two full days in 2016
with over 40 bands, more stages, more camping, new VIP amenities, and an upgraded
food experience. This is turning into something really special up North, and we’ve got
the loyal rock audience to thank for it.”

“Areee Youuu Readyyy!!? Come rock with us in the Great White North. Korn can’t wait
for the Northern Invasion!” says Korn’s James “Munky” Schaffer.

Chevelle’s Sam Loeffler says, "We are super excited to play Northern Invasion 2016!
Be prepared!! We’re going to rock new Chevelle songs from the upcoming release and,
of course, play the fan favorites."
